It Is ex- ? ected that Mr. Smith will arrive about o’clock, accompanied by a delegation' of supporters from Bulloch county, and by the Meinhnrd Sabre Club. • Dinner will be-served pt the DeSoto.

About 800 citizens composed the mob and there was no riotous outbursts, but the men listened quietly to the speech «Governor Heyward, who had hasten ed to the scene of trouble from Colum bia, and then proceeded to carry out their purpose. Platform Erected. Governor Heyward reached the scene shortly after the negro had been cap tured. A platform was erected In a fence corner on ‘the premises of the victim’s father from which Governor Heyward addressed the mob In an ef fort to prevent the lynching. The mob then removed the prisoner to a place within a short distance of the home of the victim, where the ne gro was riddled with bullets. It is im possible to estimate the crowd, ns citi zens from several counties had gath ered at the scene and for two days had been In pursuit of the fiend, but It Is certain that hundreds of bullets w'ere sent through his body. Militia Away. Tho militia in that section of the state Is now encamped at Chlckamau- ga and there were no nearby troops to i>e called upon. The governor's guards an.l the Richlarfa Volunteers of this city had been ordered to hold them selves In readiness In the event that their services were needed, but the mob was determined and It is doubtful if the presence of soldiers could have pre vented the lynching.* Girl Identifies Assailant. The negro was captured in a creek, tied hand and foot, and brought to the home of his victim for Identification. A great crowd had gathered at the Brooks home. "Let’B wash his fac*, boys, before we take him to the houafe,” said some one, but the crowd W'as too Impatient.. Four men were delegated' to escort him to the house.' The young lady, lylnjf on her bed, with a dfeep gash In her throat, turned, her eyes toward the negro as he stood there between his captors. “That’s the scoundrel,” she said. I know him by his eyes.” The Governor 8peake. “Hear the governor,” said some one, and he began: "1 know," he said, "that nothing could take place that could k#-<p you fropt hearing the gov ernor of South Carolina.” The crowd chared lustily. ”1 come here alone,’ he continued, "pot bringing any troops, f, nly two newspaper men came with me. and they, as well as I, are South Car- ellnans/just as you are, with like feel ings.

Athens, Ga., Aug. 17.—Judge Russell was given a hearty reception here last night. His address was somewhat dif ferent from the one he delivered here some time ago, as he did not go Into the details of his platform as In his former address. He said there lias been an effort on the part of the opposition to have the voters of this -section believe he and James Smith have a friendly under standing as to their candidates In this section. In reply to this Judge Russell refuted the charge In strong but par liamentary language. He said he was present to resent such a charge from any man. He said James Smith had devoted most of his campaign In his (Judge Russell's) Ju dicial circuit. Youn/c R. B. Russel 1, Jr., was on the stage and Judge Russell made refer ence to his boy’s interest in his cam paign. FREE LEMONADE FOR RUSSELL FOLLOWERS. Special to The Georgian.

Batnbrldge, Ga., Aug. 17.—The barbe cue given by the Decatur County Hoke Smith Club at Fort Hughes was well attended by thd* people from the sur rounding county, wh</ came to hear Hon. Thomas H. Hardwick’s address. The meeting closed with a Joint de bate late Thursday afternoon, the Es- till Club having asked for a division of time. Hon. J. H.

By Private Leneed Wire. Minneapolis, Minn., Aug. 17.—The committee on resolutions of the Grand Army of the Republic, has decided to make report on the resolutions which have been the cause of so much com ment during the G. A. R. week. A resolution censuring the Daughters of the Confederacy for proposing to build a monument to Henry Wlrz, com mandant of Andersonvllle prison, was turned down by a practically unan imous vote. But one member voted for The report, which will be presented by Chairman A. G. Welsert, of the committee, will be silent on the Wlrz resolution and the canteen resolution. It Is probable that an objection will be made to the committee report when It is presented nnd an effort made to amend It so that It will recommend one or both of the resolutions for pass age. In case this falls, the Wlrz resolu tion Is likely to be presented ngaln In the encampment and In that case seri ous trouble Is expected. Robert B.

He says hls brother loaned him 1500, but this was dented by the brother. It Doesn’t Make Americans Blush, But Those That Comprehendovitch Hide Their - Heads Under Pillowskis. On the' charge of being noisy, dis orderly and cruel, It being said that on one occasion the father of the family angrily tossed tho year-and-a-half-old babe on the tloor, causing hls doc tors, surgeons and dentists to be called, M. Killen and hls wife, two Russian Jews, were nrralgned In police court Friday morning. At witnesses In the case uppeared some half dozen neigh bors, among them Patrblman Green. The couple reside at 34 Bell street and, according to the testimony of those In court, there Is a continual row going on In their house, keeping their neighbors from resting. It was said that Mrs. Killen Is very htgh-tempered and also very profane. Her profanity was said to pour forth In the Russian language and, although Americans may listen to It without so much as a blush, those of their nationality In the vicinity are forced to take refuge under a pll low. During the trial some mention was made of making the couple and their three children move from the place, but Mrs. Killen rushed up to the acting recorder and with a voice choked and eyes ready for an overflow, she said: “If you make us move I will die.” Then she broke down and was es corted from the court room weeping bitterly. Owing to their poverty the recorder Imposed $1.75 fine. They deny that they disturb their neighbors.* 00D000000000000O0O00OO000O 0 O 0 FEVER CA8E CAU8E8 O NO ALARM IN CUBA.

"Wearenot dependent on the street meeting,” said Mr. Harwell. ”We only do It to save souls, not for the money that Is In It. We nev^r allow the children to beg or pass around the hat. Everything that Is given Is given free.” Six of the children are from Griffin, three from Gainesville, two from Ce- dartown and the rest from Atlanta. Warning to tha Mayor. When Mrs. Harwell was seen she flrat declared her Intention of carrying on the street meetings. "We will aee whether the Lord or the devil Is stronger,” she said, “but If It Is the*’wish of the Lord that these meetings be stopped, I would say ’amen.* “In this talk about our home pub lished In the papers you can aee clearly the devil’s cloven foot. The mayor better be careful. There was a mayor of a certain city In the West, I forgot the name now, that did just what he Is doing. He tried to stop good work like ours and the I.ord struck him dead. I have no malice against the mayor and I have Instructed the children and we are all praying for him, so that hls sin will be, If Jt Is the Lord’s wish, visited back upon him.” The situation Is full of pathos. Per haps the most pathetic feature is the boast of Mr. and Mrs. Harwell that the little children under their care are filled with religion. The children'testi fy on the streets and tell the lookers- on to follow their example. The chil dren’s ages vary from 3 to 12 years. This feature of the situation Is clear ly brought out in the report of Proba tion Officer Gloer, w ho Investigated the home for Mayor Woodward some time after It had been visited by Mr. Evans and Logan. Officer Gloer’* Report. Officer Gloer’s report follows: ATLANTA, GA., August 14, 1906. Hon. Janies G. Woodward, Mayor: Dear Sir:—Dr. Henry G. Carnes and myself made some Investigations of the Memorial Orphans' Home, No. 62 Mc Daniel street, on yesterday. We find they have 25 children In this home from 3 1-2 years to 14 years old. Seven or eight of these children are motherless and fatherless. Three men have their children In this home. The other children have only mothers who cannot support themselves and children too. These children are taught In litera ture and In the Bible, and to sing, etc., are also taught to work, laundry work. Everything In and around the building aeems perfectly clean and nloe. The home Is run by Mr. and Mrs. Harwell, who say God has called them to run such an Institution. And that they expect to continue same as long os they live. Say furthermore that they do not carry the children on the streets to get money, but to save souls. They claim that these little children have religion, and that they testify on the streets and beg people to be saved. They further say they do not and can not teach the children to testify; that they do this as the Lord directs. Say the children are taught the Bible every day, but are not taught to testify; that th^y get that part from the Ijord. When told of the various complaints made of the children on- the streets at night, they said they had been expect ing for some time that the devil would Jump on them for this work. That the people who were making these com plaints were only angels of the devil. And that they will continue to *carry them on the streets, though they get locked up and put In Jail; that they will continue to hold these meetings. When asked If they had to go on the streets to get money to run tne In stitution, they said no. Said they found enough money to run the home without this; but if the people wanted to give them money on the streets that they would accept It and thank them, too. * Said further that the authorities could do with them aa they pleased; ARE ON THE TRAIL OF They Think That President Stensland Is Near East ' Liverpool.
